To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SANFORD S. BOYD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Laurens,

in the county of Laurens and State of South Carolina, have invented newand useful Improvements in Coin Assorting, Delivering,

and Recording Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for handling money,and has for one of its objects to provide a simple, ll1QX-' pensive, andhighly-reliable apparatus for expeditiously assorting and deliveringcoins i of various denominations and other money,

and one which is calculated to record the re-% ception of each coin orother piece of money] and the discharge thereof, so as to enable theproprietor of a place of business to ascertain at the close of eachbusiness day or other desired period the amount of money placed? in andthe amount removed from the apparatus.

Another object is to provide a money as--, sorting, delivering, andrecording apparatus 1 the manipulating-keys of which are arranged E in alocked case, to which access can only be had by authorized persons whoare provided with keys.

Another object is to provide a money assorting, delivering, andrecording apparatus embodying means whereby when the case containing themanipulating-keys is Opened i by an employee the number or otherdesignating character of such employee will be imprinted on therecord'tape, so as to enable ain the record of money placed in andremoved from the apparatus by the several employees.

Another object is to provide a coin assorting and delivering apparatusembodying means whereby the coins contained in the several tubes orcolumns may be readily discharged into a common closed receptacle con-COVGIS.

as shown.

designed to receive silver dollars, halves,

nected with said tubes or columns, hen de sired.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be fully understoodfrom the following description and claims, when taken in conjunctionwith the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of myimproved apparatus. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken in the planeindicated by the broken line 2 f Fig. Fig. dis a detail verticaltransverse section taken in the plane indicated by the broken line 3 fFig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail horizontal section taken in the planeindicated by the line 4 at of Fig. 3. Figs. 5 and 6 are plan views ofthe two coinejecting slides of the apparatus. Fig. 7 is a detail sectiontaken in the plane indicated by the broken line 7 7 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 isa detail section taken in the plane indicated by the line 8 8 of Fig. 2.Fig. 9 is a detail section taken in the plane indicated by the line 9 9of Fig. 7. Fig. 10 is a detail horizontal section taken inthe planeindicated by the broken line 10 10 of Fig. 3. Fig. 11 is a detailperspective view illustrative of a portion of the mechanism for lockingone of the case- Figs. 12 and 13, Sheet 3,'are detail sectionsillustrating a modification.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, and more particularly to Figs.1 to 11 thereof, A is the case of my improved apparatus, which isdivided by a partition a into two compartments 1) c and is provided witha front panel cl, of glass, and also with hinged covers ef, and B, O, D,and E are hoppers which communicate with the interior of case A and risefrom the upper horizontal wall g thereof, These hoppers B, O, D, and Eare quarters, and dimes, respectivelyybut it is obvious that they may beadapted to receive other denominations of coins and that more or less ofthem and their appurtenances may be employed, as desired.

Arranged within the case A, at about the proportional distanceillustrated from the several hoppers, are upright tubes or columns B, O,D, and E, which are open at their upper and lower ends and are designedto receive and hold silver dollars, half- ICO dollars, quarters, anddimes, respectively. The said tubes or columns are connected at theirupper ends to and communicate with circular apertures in. the lowerwalls t' of horizontal guides j, (see Figs. 8 and 7,) and at their lowerends said tubes are connected to the upper walls 70 of horizontalguidesl and register with apertures m in said upper walls 7t, as shown.The upper walls a of the guidesj are provided with apertures 29, whichregister with the several hoppers, while the lower walls r of the lowerguides Z are provided with apertures s, which register withdischarge-spouts If, and are also provided with apertures it, whichregister with conduits 12, designed to lead to a locked receptacle whichI have deemed it unnecessary to illustrate.

B C D and E are slides arranged in the guidesj in alinement with thetubes 13, C, D, and E, respectively, and B C D and E are slides arrangedin the guides Lin alinement with the tubes B, O, D, and E, respectively.The upper slides are provided with circular openings 20, designed toreceive coins, and hence are adapted to transfer coins from the hoppersto the tubes. The lower slides are also provided with circular openings(designated byzr) and are therefore adapted to receive coins from theupright tubes and transfer or shift the same to the spouts t.

Arranged below the slides 13 (J D in the lower guides Z are slides B,C", D, and E, respectively, which have openings 1 and are designed toreceive coins from the tubes and transfer the same to the conduits 2;.

F designates four bell-crank levers fulcrumed at the apices of theirangles on suitable supports 11 in the casing, as best shown in Fig. 3.These levers have upwardly and forwardly extending arms a, which extendloosely through apertures b in the upper slides, and they also haverearwardly-extending arms 6 which are connected by coiled springs d tothe lower wall of the frame containing the guides j, and are alsoconnected to manipulating-keys Lwhich extend through suitable guides eand rest below the eoverf of the casing, as shown.

J designates four bell crank levers which are arranged alternately withreference to the levers F on the supports H and are provided withdepending arms f, which extend loosely through apertures g in the lowerslides B C, D and E and are also provided with rearwardly-extendiug arms7L, which are connected by springs d to the frame containing" the guidesj and are also connected to the manipulating-keys K, which extendthrough guides e to a point below the casing-coverf. When one of thekeys lthat for actuating the slide 13, for instanceis depressed and itslever F isrocked in the direction indicated by arrow in Fig. 3, a dollarwhich has been received in the circular aperture 2/ of said slide 13will be carried to and dropped in the column B, while when one of thekeys K that for actuating the slide B, for instanceis depressed and itslever J is rocked in the direction indicated by arrow in Fig. 3 thesilver dollar which has been received in the circular aperture 00 ofsaid slide 13 will be carried to and dropped into one of the spouts t.The spouts t are adapted to drop coins in the hand of the operator, andhence are very convenient for making change.

L L designate four manipulating keys, which are fulcrumed on brackets(L2 extending from the back wall of the case A and are normally held inand returned to the position shown in Fig. by coiled springs h, whichconnect their lower arms and the back wall of the casing, as shown. Thelower ends of these levers or keys rest in apertures c in the slides 130 D E", and hence it will be seen that when one of thelevers or keysthat for actuating the slide 13, for instance-is rocked in the directionindicated by arrows in Fig. 3 the slide B will be moved forwardly, so asto cause its aperture 1 to register with the aperture 00 in slide B andthe tube 13 and receive a silver dollar therefrom, and will then bemoved rearwardly, so as to carry the silver dollar to and drop it in oneof the conduits o.

It will be readily appreciated from the foregoing that it is simplynecessary for the operator in order to deposit coins of variousdenominations in their respective tubes to place said coins in theproper hoppers and then actuate the keys 1 until the hoppers aredischarged of their contents, while to remove coins the operator has butto actuate the keys K, when the lowermost coins in the apertures 20 ofthe slides will be carried to and dropped in the discharge-tubes 6, fromwhence they may fall into the hand of the operator, so as to enable himto readily make change. It will also be appreciated that by actuatingthe keys or levers L the operator is enabled to partially or whollydischarge the several tubes of their contents and cause the coins todrop into proper compartments in a locked receptacle, which, as beforestated, I have deemed it unnecessary to illustrate.

lll (see Figs. 2 and S) is a drum fixed on a shaft a N, arest orsupport; P, a drum fixed on a shaft U; Q, a strip or ribbon of paperdesigned to be wound off the drum M and on drum P; R, an inked ribbonarranged above the strip of paper and designed to move with the same offdrum M and on drum P; S, a coiled spring surrounding the shaft 1/ andconnected at one end to the same and at its opposite end to the casing;T, a gear-wheel loose on the shaft Z) and connected by a train ofgearing with a shaft 0", bearing a fly-fan d"; U, a ratchet fast on theshaft Z), and V a pawl pivotaily connected to the gear-wheel T andarranged to engage the ratchet. It

follows from the foregoing that when the shaft Z)" is turned with a keyin the direction indicated by arrow in Fig. 2 the spring S will becompressed or wound up and that when the shaft is released, as will bepresently de scribed, the spring by tending to expand will rotate theshaft b inthe direction opposite to that indicated by'arrow, so as towind the paper strip and superposed inked ribbon or other duplicatingmedium off the drum M and on drum P.

Fixed-on the shaft 6 of the before-mentioned train of gearing andarranged in the compartment 0 of case A is a cam-wheel V,

having an abrupt shoulder f, as best shown in Fig. 8. The said shoulderf is designed to be engaged by a lateral lug g on a vertically-movablerod WV, which has T-heads h i at its upper and lower ends designed to beengaged by cranks 7' on upper rock-shafts X and lower rock shafts Y,respectively. There are four of the shafts X, and each has an arm Z (seeFig. 3,) which extends through an opening in the lower wall of theguideframej and a slot m in one of the upper coinmoving slides, so as tobe swung in the direction indicated by arrow in Fig. 3 by a coin in theaperture of said slide when the slide is moved to carry the coin fromone of the hoppers to one of the tubes. When the arms l of the shafts Xare swung, as stated, it follows that the shafts will be rocked and therod W raised, so as to release the cam-Wheel V from the lug g and permitsaid cam-wheel to make one complete revolution and the superposed paperand duplicating medium to be moved to a slight extent off the drum M andon drum P. There are also four of the shafts Y, and each is providedwith an arm a which extends through an opening in the upper wall of theguide-frame l and a slot 19 in one of the upper coin-ejecting slides, soas to be swung in the direction indicated by a coin in the circularaperture of the slide when said slide is moved to carry the coin fromone of the upright tubes to one of the dischargespouts t. The shaftsYrock with their arms 71 and hence itfollows that the rod W will also beraised, for the purpose before described, when one of the slides B witha coin therein, is moved to carry the coin to one of thedischarge-spouts t.

It will be clear from the foregoing that incident to the placing of acoin in any one of the upright tubes and incident to the removal of acoin from any one of the said tubes the record-strip of paper and theduplicating medium above the same will be moved a slight distance in thedirection indicated by arrow in Fig. 8 over the rest or support N, thisin order to enable the record-strip to receive the entries of coinsplaced in and removed from the apparatus in regular order as the sameare made by means which will now be described.

Z designates four lovers which are fulcrumed at an intermediate point oftheir length on hangers depending from the top wall of the case and havetheir forward arms connected by coil-springs a to said wall, and Zdesignates four similarly-mounted levers connected by springs a to thetop wall of the lating-keys I.

case. Each of the levers Z'has its rear arm connected by a cord 12 orother suitable driving connection with one of the manipulatingkeys K,and each of the levers Z has its rear arm connected by a cord 0 or othersuitable driving'connection with one of the manipu- The levers Z arealso provided at their forward ends with types at, bearing differentinscriptions-such, for instance, as tsl I, 500, I, 250. I,- and 10c. I,respectivelywhile the levers Z are provided with types 6 bearingdifferent inscriptions-such, for instance, as $1 0, 50c. O, 250. O, and10c. 0, respectively. The lever Z bearing the $1 I type is connectedwith the key I for actuating the upper dollarslide, the lever Z bearingthe 500. I type is connected with the key I for actuating the upperfifty-cent slide, the lever Z bearing the 25c. I type is connected withthe key I for actuating the upper twenty-five-cent slide, and the leverZ bearing the 100. I type is connected with the key I for actuating theupper ten-cent slide, while the lever Z bearing the $1 0 type isconnected with the keyKfor actuating the lower dollar-slide, the lever Zbearing the 500. O-type is connected with the key K for actuating thelower fifty-cent slide, the lever Z bearing the 250. O type is connectedwith the key K for actuating the lower twenty-five-cent slide, and thelever Z bearing the 10c. 0 type is connected with the key K foractuating the lower ten-cent slide. From this it follows that when oneof the keys I-that for actuating the upper dollar-slide, for instance-isdepressed and a dollar is transferred from the hopper B the record-stripand duplicating medium will first be moved a slight distance, in themanner before described, and the inscription $1 I will be printed on therecord-strip, indicating that one dollar has been received in theapparatus. It also follows that when one of the keys K-that foractuating the lower dollar-slide, for instance-4s depressed and a dollaris removed from the tube B and discharged into its complementary spout tthe record-strip and duplicating medium will first be moved a slightdistance, as before described, and the inscription $1 0 will be printedon the recordstrip, indicating that one dollar has been removed from theapparatus.

In the manner stated an exact account of all money placed in and removedfrom the apparatus is automatically kept, and hence the proprietor of aplace of business is enabled to readily ascertain at the close of anydesired period the amount of money received and paid out during suchperiod.

Access can only be had to the keys I and K by unlocking and raising thecover f of the case A, and in order to enable the proprietor toascertain by which employee the cover fis unlocked and the keys I and Lmanipulated and certain entries made on the record-strip the mechanismbest shown in Figs. 3, 7, S, and 11 is provided.

Referring more particularly to the abovementioned figures, M is anarrow-head catch arranged on the coverf and extending down into asupplementary case N fixed on case A.

P is an endwise-movable rod arranged in the case N and having one of itsends arranged in a socket a on one end wall of the case and its otherend connected by a coiled spring b to the opposite end wall of the case,and R is an endwise-movable rod arranged in the case and parallel to rodP and having one of its ends arranged in asocket 0" on one end of thecase and its opposite end connected by a spring to the other end of thecase. The rod P is provided with an upwardly and laterally extending arm0", designed to normally rest over one side of the arrow-head of thecatch M as shown in Figs. 7'and 9, so as to hold the coverfin its closedposition, and is also provided with four depending projectionsf,designed to be engaged by keys, presently described, for moving the rodin the direction indicated by arrow in Fig. 7, and thereby unlockingsaid cover f. The rod R is provided with an upwardly and laterallyextending arm g designed to be engaged by the arrow-head of the catch Mafter the 1nanner shown in Fig. 11, when the cover j" is closed, and isalso provided with four downwardly and laterally extending arms h, designed to engage the keys presently described.

S designates four wheels journaled on short journals t'flextendinginwardly from the back wall of the case N and having elongated openingsor slots j to receive the inner ends of keys.

T designates four levers similar to the levers Z Z,with the exceptionthat the types 7a, which they bear, are provided with the numerals 1, 2,3,and 4-, respectively, or other characters for identifying the severalclerks or employees.

W designates four connections, preferably cords, bet-ween the wheels ordrums S and the levers T.

V designates five slidable panels which are arranged in suitableguideways Z and constitute the front wall of the case N and Q designatesfour individual keys for opening the coverf and actuating the wheels ordrums S and the type-levers T The inner ends of the several keys are ofdifferent shapes, as are also the elongated openings or slots 7' of thewheels 8*, so that each key has its complementary wheel and can beinserted in and used in conjunction with no other. This provision isobviously made for the purpose of preventing one employee from openingthe cover f by actuating the lever T which bears the identificationcharacter of another employee. The keys Q are each provided at anintermediate point with a notch m", which when the key is inserted andturned is designed to receive one of the arms 71 of the rod B after themanner shown in Fig. 11, for a purpose presently described.

The endwise-movable panels V have their contiguous ends beveled, asindicated by n in Fig. 9, and also have such contiguous beveled endsarranged in position approximately opposite the wheels S and the spacesbetween the arms a and 7t5 of the rods P and R respeetively. From thisit follows that when one key (E -that, for instance, for operating thewheel S to the right-is inserted between the contiguous beveled edges ofthe two panels to the right the beveled edges of the panels to the leftof the inserted key are moved close together, so that no key can beinserted between the same. It also follows that when a key is insertedbetween the contiguous beveled edges of any two of the panels V a keycannot be inserted between any other two of the panels. lVhen theinserted key Q is turned toward the left or into the position shown inFig. 11, it partially rotates its complementary wheel S in the directionindicated by arrow and by winding the cord V on the wheel aetuates oneof the levers T and thereby prints the number or otheridentificationmark of the employee using the key on the record-strip. Vhen turned as stated, the key also acts against one arm of the rod P andthereby moves said rod endwise in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 9and disengages the arm e of said rod from the arrow-head catch M so asto permit of the coverf being raised and access gained to themanipulating-keys I K. When the coverf is raised, the arrowhead catchlVP by moving upwardly releases the arm of the rod R so as to enablesaid rod to move endwise toward the left and carry one of its arms intothe notch m of the key, and thereby prevent withdrawal of the key.However, when the coverf is closed the arrow-head catch M movesdownwardly and acting against the arm of rod R presses the said rod Rtoward the right, and thereby carries the Vertical portion of the arm7L5 out of the notch m of the key Q and the horizontal portion of saidarm 7L5 from beneath the key, so as to permit of the key being re turnedto its original vertically-disposed position and withdrawn from thecase. The downward movement of the arrow-head catch M also operates byengaging the arm 6 of rod P to move said rod endwise toward the left, soas to enable the horizontal portion of the said arm 0 to return to itsoriginal position above the arrow-head of the catch and thereby lock thecover fin its closed position.

It will be appreciated from the foregoing that before an employee cangain access to the manipulating-keys I K for the purpose of assortingand placing money in the apparatus or removing change therefrom he mustfirst unlock the cover f, and by the act of opening the said cover f henecessarily actuates the lever T complementary to his individual key,and thereby prints his identification-mark on the record-strip, so thathe is held responsible for all money subsequently entered on therecord-strip as placed in or removed from the apparatus until the coverf is closed and he is able to removehis individual key. When the key ofone employee is in the case N the key of another employee cannot beintroduced. When, however, the case N is closed and the key of thefirst-nam ed employee is removed from the case, the key of anotheremployee may be introduced,when the identification-mark of such otheremployee will be printed on the record-strip, so that he will be heldresponsible for entries made of money placed in and removed from theapparatus until the cover f is again closed and locked. After openingthe case N and actuating one or more of the manipulating-keys to placemoney in or remove money from the apparatus each employee is expected toclose the case and remove his individual key. This each employee will becareful to do in order to avoid being charged with money placed inorremoved from the apparatus by another employee. By reason of this theproprietor of a place of business is enabled to readily ascertain thespecific amount of money placed in and removed from the apparatus byeach of his employees, which is an important advantage and a desideratumin this class of devices. It will also be observed that when the cover fis locked only those provided with keys can gain access to themanipulatingkeys I K, and hence it is impossible for an unauthorizedperson to place moneyin or remove money from the apparatus, which is animportant advantage.

Notwithstanding the fact that my improved apparatus is calculated tosave much time and labor in the handling of money and is also adapted tokeep a record of all money received and paid out and prevent dishonestyon the part of employees it will be observed that it is simple andcompact in construction and embodies no delicate parts such as arelikely to get out of order after a short period of use.

When it is desired to adapt the apparatus to receive paper money, one ormore hoppers B lower and upper slides, such as B and tubes B such asshown in Figs. 12 and 13,

will be provided in the apparatus, and in conjunction therewithtelescopic receptacles B will be used, each piece of paper money beingplaced in one receptacle and said receptacle dropped into the hopper, asshown in Fig. 12. Of course complementary manipulating-keys I K andregistering means, such as described, will also be employed inconjunction with the hopper B", slides B tube B and receptacle B.

I have entered into a specific description of the construction andrelative arrangement of the parts embraced in the present embodiment ofmy invention in order to impart a full, clear, and exact understandingof the same. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confiningmyself to such specific construction and arrangement of parts, as suchchanges or modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall withinthe scope of my invention.
